This recipe is a really vintage , and I found it in a magazine of my mom gave me. it's a really delicious küchen ricotta.Küchen are something special here in Chile and we these recipes from German colonies.For many years there was here an adorable Tearoom called "Cafe Paula"were they doing the best cakes and pastries, and one of their specialties was the cottage cheese or ricotta kuchen.It was my favorite when I was to "Cafe Paula".

Really I was happy find this recipe and discover that is as delicious as remembered.enjoy! -

What a lovely recipe Gloria. I'm delighted to see that you have brought it into the 21st century. Sometimes, you just can't beat those colonized recipes from long ago:) Thank you so much for sharing...bloy I would just love a sliver:)

Gloria, Great recipe and a terrific looking Kuchen! This posting also motivated me to research the influence of German immigrants in Chile. Very interesting with about 500,000 descendants living in Chile today... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
